Dear Culver Community,

This summer I was part of a team that spent many valuable hours creating a District Strategic Plan.   This is a five-year comprehensive plan that will lead us to continual improvement of our school district.  This plan was developed by a committee of 13 members who represented community leaders, parents, and staff.  This group was highly committed to establishing a plan that reflects the values and beliefs of the Culver community. 

The Culver School District #4 has long standing traditions and a reputation of believing and honoring the notion that every child matters.  Our noteworthy accomplishments include:

• Our graduation rate is highly ranked in Oregon.
• Our music program received national recognition from the National Association of Music Merchant Foundation.
• Our athletic successes include several state titles.
• Our Science-Technology-Engineering-Mathematics (STEM), Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA), and Agriculture programs are in the new and continue to inspire students.
• Districtwide we have implemented numerous facility and procedural safety improvements.
• We have a school board whose lens is always that our students come first.
• Thanks to our 2013 General Obligation Bond, we have updated and improved learning spaces for the elementary and high school.
• We continue to have incredible community support and involvement in our schools. 

This strategic plan honors the children, the staff, the district, and the community.  You can get a copy of the complete plan from our district office.  This plan is a dynamic document that will be monitored and revised by the district strategic planning team each year.  We will continue to listen to the school board, as well as the community’s voice, along the way.  I am radiantly certain the best is yet to come with this plan supporting our talented staff and creating an environment of excellence for our students. 

Establishing the blueprint for exemplary youth and serving as the nucleus of our rural community is the vision we set our sights on.   Thank you for your commitment to the children of our community and for partnering with us in making Culver School District #4 a place where we ignite futures for all Culver students!

Warm Regards,

Stefanie Garber, Superintendent
